Done my routine monthly check of fluids (coolant, oil etc) this morning with the car being absolutely frozen during the -2/3 temps. The coolant is being consumed at a rate faster than I would prefer but no issues with engine temps etc, so topped it up 1 ltr.
My main concern is a thickening of oil on the oil cap and a little on the inside too as pictured. I first checked it this morning after letting the engine tick over for 5 mins until it was warm-is (40c).
I'm well aware from owning Range Rovers etc that this can be a sign of head gasket issues but everything is running perfectly, no funny sounds, performance etc.
Is this in anyway normal with colder environmental temperatures etc? any advice welcome guys.
EDIT: OIL DIPSTICK COLOUR AND CONSISTENCY WAS PERFECT.
